Friday: musically broad, plus theatre, film screenings, and some NEWS ~ Feb 7 2014

.
The WINTER OLYMPICS will cause some of us to disappear for the next two weeks. But life and music do go on, and your favorite venues (and the artists performing in them) will be thrilled to see you. As always, we provide the gentle nudge to get you out of your after-work comfy chair, and into a seat that faces a stage.

February 7 in History…

It’s “CHARLES DICKENS DAY” because it’s his birthday (1812).

It’s also the birthday of “Little House on the Prairie” author LAURA INGALLS WILDER (1867).

And it’s the day after “Weather Persons Day,” when, appropriately, it rained.

√  GIBSON PRANKS FENDER AT NAMM

The Gibson Guitar folks tell us, "Trade shows are boring, so Gibson decided to have a little fun. Comedian JACK VALE play[ed] a little prank on Fender when he noticed that there was an empty display case at their booth. What happened next? Watch this video to find out!"

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-hcOZ85769Q&feature=youtu.be&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D-hcOZ85769Q%26feature%3Dyoutu.be

When you go to the page to watch, you can click buttons to subscribe to videos by Jack Vale, by Gibson – and yes, by Fender, included because they were good sports about it.

You can submit a video of yourself, singing a snippet of one of three songs from the show. You could win a trip to Nashville and $1,000. Then, the “what’s-in-it-for-them” part is, “Spread the word and have your friends vote on your video!”

This ballad about ballads is written with a contemporary twist and is staged with an interactive and inventive sense of fun. Life-affirming and touchingly beautiful, you don't have to be Scottish or like haggis to agree with the critics. "...more vibrantly, sexily alive than any piece of theatre I've seen in Scotland for years." ~ The Scotsman).
